There are two things to check. Firstly the A7M266-D is a bit quirky about DMA fairness. It may be that the new DRM module isnt setting things up for access to the hardware. In paticular if the new DRM module frobs with the configuration for the AGP bridge stuff there are interesting dragons lurking. The second one is utterly insane but could be involved depending how the DRM module is implemented - if you are not using a PS/2 mouse plug one into the machine even if you dont use it. That also fixes the IDE hangs under high load on these boards and is a hardware problem! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
